I have no interest at all in Overwatch but these logos are fantastic
I join you, brother!
Fair enough. I guess I got used to the soccer team names from my country and then to the DOTA2 team names, none of which have anything similar to the American standard.I think you aren't in the audience this is aimed at then. These names are good. Adding city affiliations should help with a sense of local pride.
They're able to do that because they sold $20 million perpetual location licenses.They've done well handling the naming like proper sports team. Much easier for fans coming into it. Wish all Leagues did this

If the only connection to their respective cities is the owners, this seems like such an empty attempt at addressing that "make it easier for new people to pick a team" criticism.
Why should you have loyalty to a club that is only using your home for marketing, and doesn't have a physical connection to it like regular sports.
Awesome! Now just wish they didn't pick early mls tier names.While all season 1 games will be played in the Blizzard arena in LA, season 2 and beyond games will require all teams to travel and play matches in the home city's location. This is where the physical connection will be more apparent.
Every character is going to have team colors in game as well as a team UI and sfx.
